Cop Secret

I laughed all the time. It was the best and funniest icelandic movie. I would recomend this movie to all icelandic people becuse its very icelandic humor.

This is a spoof cop action movie which I enjoyed enormously. There is quite a strong gay twist, which you'll enjoy if you are gay (I am). But you don't need to be gay to enjoy it a lot. It's witty, very often laugh out loud funny, very good performances - the leads of course, but the female police chief deserves a special mention - great raucous music. It apparently cost 0.03% of the budget of Fast and Furious but you'd never know - it's very well made by an accomplished director (an ex-professional footballer, this is actually his first feature film). The cast are all good friends and it shows - they are clearly having a wonderful time, and you will too.

There were no belly laughs engendered by this spoof film set in Reykjavík. However there was plenty of wry smiling on my part. The over-the-top plot was deliciously ludicrous as was the number of people bumped off by the two supercops. One wonders how and where the supervillain found his minions as they were dying at a rate of knots.

Just as absurd was the gay love affair - every cliché in the book was there.

And of course bombs get defused with two seconds to spare just as if it was Bruce Willis doing it.

Silly and exaggerated as it was I enjoyed the film which put me in a good mellow mood. .

Every stereotype possible is exaggerated in an ironic and surprising way while keeping up suspense! I love Icelandic humour and there's plenty of it in that film. It's like everyone's taking him/herself not too serious.

After Bad Boys 2.

This movie is fantastic. I grew up on all the old action films of the 80s. Buddy cop movies were always the rage. It feels like Die Hard 3 meets Bad Boys with a bit of Face Off and Sudden Death.

The camera shots used were clear indicators of the inspiration for the film. The story made me realize how much I miss 80s action films. Hot Fuzz was amazing, but that was a while ago now.

Many would always talk about the homoerotic undertones with those macho movies, this movie just took it and brought it forefront. Watching this was like watching an AIDS filled Bruce Willis partnered up with Chris Helmsworth. I say none of these things for offense or as a derogatory. This movie was made for the love of a tike past. The troupes were there, and it almost had a Deadpool-esque air of 4th wall.

This is a funny movie from when you want to turn off your brain and just have a good time. Sometimes it's nice to see the John Woo style over the top ballet to the action.

So it's Tango and Cash by way of a little less gay Michael Bay.
